About HS Code 521119

This code encompasses heavy-duty woven fabrics that are primarily cotton but blended significantly with man-made fibers, remaining in their natural, unbleached state. These textiles are characterized by their substantial weight, exceeding 200g/m², and feature various weave patterns not specifically categorized elsewhere within the 5211.1 subheading. They are crucial raw materials for manufacturers of durable apparel, industrial textiles, and home furnishings. Major importers are typically garment-producing nations in Asia and Central America, seeking cost-effective and robust fabric inputs, while exporters often include textile powerhouses like China, India, and Pakistan, which have integrated spinning and weaving capabilities. Key considerations for trade include fiber composition verification, fabric strength, and the specific weave structure, as these impact the final product's application and processing requirements. The unbleached nature means they are destined for further dyeing or finishing processes.
